    Cost of single ticket depends on direction of travel?

    Delay Repay on Split Ticket with restricted choice of trains

    26-30 Railcard & Minimum Fares in July and August

    As I understand it, one of the key differences between the 16-25 and 26-30 railcards is the 16-25 doesn't have a minimum fare in July and August (a £12 minimum fare normally applies when travelling before 10am on weekdays). As expected, the NR journey planner is now showing 1/3rd off for...
